Morocco and Russia Subject to Phosphate Fertilizer Import Duties

TAMPA, March 11, 2021 - Today, the U.S. International Trade Commission announced that it has completed its investigation and determined that subsidized phosphate fertilizer imports from Morocco and Russia have materially injured the U.S. phosphate industry.

As a result of this ruling, the U.S. Department of Commerce will issue countervailing duty orders on phosphate fertilizers from Russia and Morocco, which will remain in place for at least five years. The cash deposit rates for such imports are expected to be approximately 20 percent for Moroccan producer OCP, 9 percent and 47 percent for Russian producers PhosAgro and EuroChem, respectively, and 17 percent for all other Russian producers.

"Mosaic employees are proud to support American farmers by producing high quality, reliable fertilizer," said Mosaic President and CEO Joc O'Rourke. "Today's decision upholds our belief that fair trade is a cornerstone of a healthy U.S. economy, and that American farmers will benefit from having a more competitive American fertilizer industry."
